Chapter 597: Fish or life?
Zhou Chang still couldn't believe it. If this person was really the Sun Xiang they had been looking for, then that would be the only clue. He winked at Gao Yuan again.
Gao Yuan understood what he meant, and flipped the steel knife in his hand, suddenly hitting Sun Xiang's back of the neck with the back of the knife.
There was a "bang" sound.
Sun Xiang's head drooped and he was knocked unconscious.
"He won't die immediately." Zhou Chang wanted to stop him but it was too late.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't die." Gao Yuan still had a blank expression on his face.
Only then did Zhou Chang feel comfortable moving closer, and finally saw that behind Sun Xiang's drooping head, there was indeed a large black mole behind his right ear.
It seems that this is the person I am looking for.
The front of Sun Xiang's clothes was completely stained with blood. He had fainted but was still covering his waist and abdomen with one hand.
"He was still injured, and you hit him again..." Zhou Chang was still worried, this was an important clue.
Gao Yuan looked at Fu Ming's carriage not far away and said, "Mr. Fu and the others are still here. I didn't use too much force, so it won't affect his wound. If his waist and abdomen were seriously wounded, he would have died long ago and couldn't even climb onto the carriage."
Zhou Chang then started thinking about Zhong Yu again. He asked Gao Yuan and Shou Hou to look after Sun Xiang while he went to check on Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yuban was leaning in the carriage of Fu Ming and his party. She had regained consciousness and looked OK. When she saw Prince Yi coming in person, she was about to get off the carriage.
Zhou Chang quickly stopped him and stood under the carriage and said, "It's good that Mr. Zhong woke up. It seems that he was frightened. I was also frightened just now."
"It's not good, it's not good... It's my fault. Not only was I unable to protect Your Majesty just now, I'm afraid I'll implicate Your Majesty if I really run into danger." Zhong Yu shook his head in shame. He obviously had heard what happened, so he couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, is that really the person we are looking for?"
With Fu Ming and Yidanxing's staff beside him, Zhou Chang didn't say much, so he just nodded and said, "Sir, take a rest, then we will go into the city first and discuss it in detail when we return to the mansion."
Zhong Yu also understood.
Zhou Chang then turned to Fu Ming and said, "Manager Fu, please go over and take a look at that person to see if he is okay. He has been in the box the whole time. It would be bad if he died on the way back."
Fu Ming understood that Prince Yi wanted to take the man back to the palace, so he didn't ask any more questions and took his servants with him.
First they lifted the large wooden box off the carriage, but did not lift the person out. After all, they were still in the suburbs and there were many people around.
Then, Fu Ming took a quick look, felt his pulse, and came to a preliminary conclusion: "Your Highness, this wound should have been bandaged briefly, and the bleeding has stopped. Later, it split open again, which is why so much blood flowed out of the box. His life is not in danger for now. As for treatment, we will have to ask Doctor Meng to come in when we return to the city. After all, he has lost a lot of blood."
As soon as the words fell, Sun Xiang's eyes slowly opened again.
Gao Yuan was indeed controlling the strength in his hands.
Sun Xiang woke up again, and focused his eyes for a long time before he realized that he had been thrown to the ground. Several people were looking down at him. As soon as he understood what was going on, he begged again: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please save me, please save me..."
"Take it back first." Zhou Chang agreed with just one sentence.
The skinny monkey asked, "My Lord, what should we do with the fish?"
Zhou Chang looked at Sun Xiang and came up with an idea: "Put him in the box too, so that his legs can shrink. These fish can also serve as a cover."
“Don’t, don’t…” Sun Xiang’s eyes widened in an instant.
"You look short and have short legs. Please move back. Although I am trying to save you, it is not good to just throw away this basket of fish, right?" Zhou Chang said bluntly.
This man just admitted that he was a kidnapper on Mount Qihuang in Beiji. How can he expect any good treatment?
Injury to the waist and abdomen does not mean loss of sense of smell.
Sun Xiang refused ten thousand times. He could smell a fishy smell as the fish basket approached: "You, you don't have to be in the box..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The skinny monkey only had the fish in his eyes. He had already picked up the fish basket while he was talking. "What if you are not in the box and we go to the city? We will definitely search you out."
The wooden box is very large and can accommodate an adult. The fish basket is also not small and can take up half of the wooden box.
“Wait, wait… I’m being chased by someone, cough cough… But I’m not afraid of the soldiers at the city gate, cough cough…” Sun Xiang didn’t know whether he was choked by the fishy smell or because he was seriously injured and was gasping for breath.
Zhou Chang was afraid that the important witness would not be able to hold out, but he did not slow down when he thought that he was one of the kidnappers who kidnapped Yuan Yu: "You are not afraid of exposing your identity and whereabouts when you are being hunted down. I am afraid that you will be implicated and hunted down. It is safer for you to stay with Yu."
"You want fish or your life?" As the skinny monkey said this, he poured a basket of dead fish on his head with a "crash".
"Ah..." Sun Xiang screamed, there was nowhere to hide, and his whole body was buried under the fish.
The skinny monkey went over to close the lid of the box, and pressed hard twice but it just wouldn't close tightly.
Sun Xiang was screaming “Wow wow…” in the box.
"Almost done. We need to leave a gap for him to breathe." Zhou Chang saw that the lid of the box was still a palm's width away from closing. He was even more worried that Sun Xiang would be tortured to death. Finally, he said to the box, "Don't make any noise on the way. Otherwise, you can't blame me if you die."
"Woo..." Sun Xiang's voice was unclear.
Afterwards, the two guys and the skinny guy worked together to lift the big wooden box back to the back of the carriage and tied it up twice more with ropes.
After confirming that it was stable, he asked Zhong Yu to change the carriage.
Then Zhou Chang took Zhong Yu and Gao Yuan with him, with Skinny Monkey driving the car, and Fu Ming and a few others following in the car, and they went back the same way they came.
When they arrived at the East City Gate, the soldiers guarding the city passed through smoothly except for collecting the vehicle tax at the gate.
When the soldiers guarding the gate smelled the fishy odor, and considering that it was Prince Yi's carriage, they did not check it at all.
Zhou Chang and his companions returned to the palace safely.
Manager Fu and his group went straight back to the Siwei Medicine Shop, and then asked Doctor Meng to go to Prince Yi's Mansion to treat Sun Xiang's injuries.
After returning to the palace, Skinny Monkey drove the carriage into the palace from the west gate, and then he and Gao Yuan called Gao Yun and the other two to lift the box down.
Then, despite the smell of fish, they carried Sun Xiang out and placed him in the yard where Xu Wei had been imprisoned before, and assigned someone to guard it.
After it was completely dark, Doctor Meng came over to examine Sun Xiang and re-bandaged his wound.
Sun Xiang didn’t know if it was because he was tossed too hard on the way, but he hasn’t woken up since he was carried into Prince Yi’s Mansion.
Zhou Chang hurriedly asked for various answers, but he was unable to find any.
After Doctor Meng wrote the prescription, he invited him to the study: "Doctor Meng, do you think the man's injuries are serious? When will he wake up?"
Meng Youfang obviously didn't take the injury seriously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the wound is on the side of the waist, and the knife didn't pierce deep into the abdomen, neither is it a vital part. It's just some blood loss. Drink a bowl of medicine tonight and another bowl tomorrow morning, and he should wake up."
With that being said, Zhou Chang could only wait and asked Gao Yuan to send someone to keep a close watch on him so that he could conduct a detailed interrogation the next day.
